Galileo Silver^b²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 115| D

9/4

Fairly useful over hurdles. Matched that form at the fourth attempt when off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (blinkered), cruising clear. Only 5 lb higher here so big player.

Form: 513-471

Rapid Flight⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N J Henderson| OR: 110| D

5/2

Southwell maiden hurdle winner in May and all the better for chase bow when third at Worcester 44 days ago.

Form: 3-F1063

Here We Have It^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: L Morgan| OR: 109

4/1

Second in bumper/novice hurdle around 2m at the end of 2020. All the better for hurdles debut/return when third in maiden at Southwell. Handicap/chase debut (experienced maiden pointer).

Form: 22/22-63

Wheesht⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: A Ralph| OR: 107

13/2

Point winner. Opened her account for current yard in 20f novice hurdle at Plumpton in March. Creditable start over fences when third at Worcester on return and entitled to do better.

Form: 2P/5P1-3

Raffles Gitane⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 113

11/2

Fair hurdler who landed juvenile maiden at Hereford (16.2f) in February. Similar form next 3 starts, including when fourth on chase bow at Sedgefield on return.

Form: 45133-4

Forecasts

Galileo Silver (9/4), Rapid Flight (5/2), Here We Have It (4/1), Raffles Gitane (11/2), Wheesht (13/2), Mistersister (12/1)

GALILEO SILVER finally matched his hurdles form in this sphere when taking advantage of a significant drop in the weights at Wincanton and remains fairly treated up only 5 lb. Raffles Gitane and Wheesht both shaped with promise on their chase debut/return and are potential threats.
